MSN-02 Zeong (High Mobility Type) - 1/100 G-System (4)

Painting....instead of following G-system's guide, I prefer the orginal color scheme, with a bit of modification. (Referenced from the FIX version of Zeong). Most of the color I used are left overs from other kits: the red is from Victory Gundam, the dark blue is Unicorn's, and the white is from Millennium Falcon....I'll put in the details later. The main color that has to be mixed are the grey of the main body, a darker grey for mechanical parts, and the silver. 

and so the painting begins.... the burners base:

the skirt..I realized the panel lines I added are not symmetry, so needs a bit of rework...

Rear skirt done, I didn't bother working on the missile pod on the rear. I just don't like the idea of missiles shooting straight onto the tail...

and with the burners attached:

The side skirts, with some added panel lines:

The arms, the easiest part, it's straight from the 1/100 MG Zeong

The shoulder joints: 

The top part of the body, with the modified waist cannon:

and the head:

The only part that's left now are the shoulders, the front skirts and the tail. That will have to wait until October after my vocation back to Hong Kong. Hope I can get some new kits on my way back!

MSN-02 Zeong (High Mobility Type) - 1/100 G-System (3)

Another 2 months gone amd the kit is 90% complete, it felt like it has taken forever!

Painting has begun in June, but because I decided to add panel lines to some of the parts, it has taken way longer than expected....

Just showing some more of works in progress before I moved to talk about painting, here's the cover on the front part of the tail (?), a bit of added detail

The cannon at the waist wasn't the best molded, so I removed the sides and use only the middle part:

Similar to the waist cannon, the pipes on the shoulder piece suffered the same problem, so the pieces are removed:

and replaced by pipes and rods:  

and a bit of trick to straighten the pipe and the end of the shoulder piece - plugs! (It's just a short plastic rod with a hole drilled in the middle)

next, painting~
